I got the system up and running with a USB mouse and then discovered
that I could get the Synaptics Touchpad working by compiling the kernel
with psmouse as a module and automating the module load/unload in
rc.local. On a clean boot with say the stock 1319 kernel, the touchpad
is dead but the same kernel recompiled with psmouse as a module works
fine.
I haven't tried the possible combinations and permutations of having/no
having a USB mouse plugged in at boot. Also, I see the same behavior
with gpm before starting X. The mouse is defined in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"

Dave,
Have you tried using the example given
in /usr/share/doc/synaptics-0.14.0/ on how to configure a Synaptics
mouse.
If this works (without the recompile) then the next trick would be to
get the installed to recognize that this is a Synaptics mouse and to use
a similar config fil by default.
